Many Boikutso residents still use bucket toilets and its streets are lined with piles of uncollected rubbish mixed with sewage. “I’ll never vote for any other party. It’s ANC all the way. The ANC has built a house for me. I receive the R350 grant, my children are receiving social grants. Why would I not vote for the ANC? I’m voting for the biggest party in the country,” Tlhabe told TimesLIVE.
“The ANC is the people’s party. I heard the president say they will fix their mistakes,” she said, adding she was personally satisfied with service delivery in her area. Bobe said the ANC candidate for her ward, Khotso Montshojang, was a hard-working individual who she believed would serve the community well.
Resident Margaret Thabane said she was not happy with service delivery in the area but would vote for the ANC again because she felt the party deserved another chance.
